What is an essence?
An essence is a vibrational remedy that carries the vital life force energy or “soul signature” of a specific flower, gem, planetary influence, nature phenomenon, or environment.

Vibrational remedies are unlike herbal tinctures and essential oils, they are a wholly unique approach to working with flowers and plants.

What are the benefits of working with essences?
Essences harmonize and transform the energy of a person, animal or a physical space. Their energy patterns resonate with and awaken the healing intelligence within the physical, emotional and spiritual self. They assist the entire being towards balance and can be a wonderful complement to other healing modalities.

How are essences made?
They are created by an infusion process drawing from desired sources such as flowers, in water with energy sources such as sunlight. An infusion holds only the vibrations, it does not contain any of the original source material it was made with, it has no taste or smell. Essences are diluted preparations preserved with alcohol.

Our essences are made in accordance with traditional infusion methods and principles to be safely enjoyed by people and pets, and to enhance enjoyment of any environment.

What are Stars in Jars Essences?
Each of our formulas is created in sacred space combining some or all of the following, flower essences, gem elixirs, environmental and cosmic vibrations.

We gather from the Elements: Earth, Water, Sun/Moon or Star light, and Air. In addition to the plant and gem kingdoms, we work with the rhythms of the natural world; the turning of seasons, weather phenomenon, planetary influences, and locations on the planet known for their unique energy properties. We add to this powerful combination by invoking the higher energies of the Cosmos and the universal energy of Love to bless and raise the vibration.

Our one of a kind formulas are always handcrafted with gratitude and respect for the natural world and Mother Earth.

How do I use essences?
Essences are available in two forms, Dropper or Spray.

Dropper formulas can be taken by placing a few drops under the tongue or added to a glass of water or water bottle to sip throughout the day. Drops can be used to anoint the body, or apply to acupressure points or pulse points such as the inside of the wrists. Create and hold an intention in your mind when using the essences and shake the bottle to awaken its energies. To increase their effects, take more often. Makes an excellent addition to baths, or can be added to your favorite skin-care products such as oils, skin creams and lotions. Can be used to enhance baked goods or confections such as chocolates. May be added to water for your indoor or outdoor plants.

Spray formulas contain a blend of high grade essential oils to complement and ground the intention. To experience the benefits on the physical, etheric, astral, and spiritual self, mist lightly around the head and body avoiding the eyes. Spray in any room to instantly clear or shift the energy. Perfect for office, bedroom, meditation, art/craft, practice or study areas. Choose a formula to support your desire, whether it is to be more focused, energized, grounded, calm, relaxed, or to experience peaceful sleep.

Sprays are also available without essential oils by special request for those who are sensitive or prefer unscented products. They are for external use only, do not ingest spray products.

Are essences safe?
Yes. Essences are non toxic and do not produce side effects, they are safe to use as directed. For any medical symptoms, conditions, or concerns always seek advice from a licensed health care professional. Essences can be used as a compliment to other forms of treatment but are never a substitute.

Dropper and spray formulas contain alcohol and should be stored appropriately around young children. People who are sensitive to alcohol may inquire about alcohol-free options.
